Conservatives may hold similar views and unknowingly want a government that upholds white supremacist values, etc. But they don't identify as such, they use a lot of convenient euphemisms.
Matt Walsh fashions himself as a Christian Fascist, but he's still employed by Ben Shapiro, so not sure I would expect anything else

Yeah. I go back and forth about which of them are worse: he or Candace Owens. I'm pretty sure he's less of a grifter than she is (that is to say, I think he's really a conservative).
Nothing MTG says is that surprising honestly. She has all the makings of an alt-right psycho. MLM's, Crossfit gym owner, property tax evasion, and being from small town Georgia. She's also in a district that will vote her in for eternity, unfortunately. Go check some of the comments on videos of her. She actually has a strong base. At least it's unlikely Boebart wins her election (Aspen gets more blue every year).
Conservatives always trying to outdo the previous generation of conservatives. I remember when I thought Ann Coulter was peak insanity. Marjorie, Boebart, Candace, Matt, Crowder and Shapiro come bursting to the scene asking to hold their beer.
Owens is much more intelligent than Walsh. He has one thing he does well that appeals to his audience and that's queer-bashing. Anything else he's so out of his depth you can see how much of a navel-gazing ape he is. Owens is basically a "perfect minority" version of Anne Coulter.

I agree, my only point was that she isn't so much of a conservative as she is a grifter, like Dave Rubin. Owens and Walsh are both in it for the money obviously, but Owens had an abrupt Left to Right pivot the same as Rubin did. When she was a kid she was a victim of pretty bad racist bullying (death threats with racial slurs), but today she pulls the "post-racism America" shit that conservatives like to trot out. She was even making a website who's sole purpose was to keep track of, and put names to, would be anonymous online harassers on the internet. Like, so-called cancel culture before cancel culture even existed.xi0 said:
Yeah, I wasn't disagreeing there, I compared her to Ann Coulter because that's pretty much what she did. Regardless of how conservative they really are, the roles they play in the media are duping chuds and keeping the circus going. They're far more shrewd than people like Walsh because Walsh probably believes the shit he says and thinks ideas like abolishing age of consent laws are tenable.

Pretty much and this tweet sums it up
